Surprised me with that role. I thought Anchorman was a funny movie, especially the scene where all the news teams meet in an alley for an over-the-top violent confrontation. Ferrell was a little too much of Ferrell though, a lot of his movies are unwatchable but a few of them are quite good, IMO of course.
